Method of storing electrostatic discharge sensitive devices

Abstract

A storage container for electrostatic discharge sensitive devices comprises an enclosable polymeric outer shell, a polymeric inner shell disposed within the outer shell, grooves in the inner shell for accommodating electrostatic discharge sensitive devices, and means for affixing the inner shell to the outer shell.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method for storing electrostatic discharge sensitive devices comprising: (a) molding a top member, bottom member, two side members, and two end members;   (b) connecting said members to form an enclosable shell;   (c) molding two side panels, each having a plurality of grooves along an interior surface thereof, and two end panels;   (d) affixing a rigid support bracket to an exterior surface of each side panel;   (e) connecting said panels to form an inner shell;   (f) placing said inner shell within said enclosable shell;   (g) connecting the inner shell to the end members of said enclosable shell; and   (h) inserting the electrostatic discharge sensitive devices in corresponding facing grooves of the inner shell.   
     
     
       2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the members of the enclosable shell are blow molded. 
     
     
       3. The method according to claim 1 wherein the panels of the inner shell are injection molded. 
     
     
       4. A method for making a storage container suitable for storing electrostatic discharge sensitive devices comprising: (a) molding a top member, bottom member, two side members, and two end members;   (b) connecting said members to form an enclosable shell;   (c) molding two side panels, each having a plurality of grooves along an interior surface thereof, and two end panels;   (d) affixing a rigid support bracket to an exterior surface of each side panel;   (e) connecting said panels to form an inner shell;   (f) placing said inner shell within said enclosable shell; and   (g) connecting the inner shell to the end members of said enclosable shell.   
     
     
       5. The method according to claim 4 wherein the members of the enclosable shell are blow molded. 
     
     
       6. The method according to claim 4 wherein the panels of the inner shell are injection molded.
